It's been over six months since I wrote a salsa review here, and it isn't because I stopped loving salsa. I have not received any samples in the mail, until this week. And I'm waiting for the ten-year-long construction of Whole Foods Market here in Birmingham to be completed. When it's finally open, I will use some of my Social Security income to buy salsas I haven't tried before.
On Friday I found a package on my doorstep from Mecca's Salsa. Inside was a container of freshly made salsa with a note from Mecca about how only fresh ingredients with no preservatives are used, so the salsa has a refrigerator shelf life of about ten days. This salsa lasted about two hours so that wasn't a problem. (I ate all of it rather quickly.) The texture is finely chopped but not too juicy, so the product stays on the chip en route from the bowl to your mouth. It's slightly spicy, just enough to offer a small kick, but not enough to clear your sinuses. The flavor is akin to homemade, with the taste of fresh ingredients.
I think it's quite good and wished I had more. Hopefully Mecca's operation will be up and running by March so that you can try some, too.
